comments or criticism of this B&W treatment of a foggy scene in the southern highlands

i like this shot. the b&w helps give it more of a lonely feel. i would suggest maybe cropping out some of the black at the bottom of the image though. but as always, thats just me.

Gee it almost looks like an IR image... I'd be tempted to go along with the crop off the bottom and also crop off the right hand side to balnce the tree on the right in the thirds, about where the lawn edge dips or the tree branch on the right bends up...

Wonder about adding some grain too, and maybe a smidge of a vignette?

PP's fun

Nice Shot. I agree crop bottom but I thingk it looks good as a pano.

Like it a lot.

Seems to have a slight green tint (or is that just my new monitor?)

Dion, I didn't put a green tint in it but when I look at again I can see what you are saying. But it could be my imagination.

Thanks for the comments guys.

I opt for the first crop which is a picture of a space - a shady grove - and the mood of the space. The tighter crop - to me, anyway - becomes just a picture of two trees and a curious bench seat.

Your picture - you choose.

Cheers,

Does change the image, like it though... just a thought, wondering about burning in some of the lighter grassed area and foliage on the edges of the image to centre the light on the bench? Just thinking out loud

True Mudder I agree and what sheetshooter said also something about the original that attracts the eye and I believe you, Mudder, are on the right track to create more of that which attracts the eye.

As sheetshooter mentioned that 'mood of the space' combined with the play of shadowed area to light and subject does add the magic. IMO there is a lot of room to play in the digital darkroom to create a real keeper Ajo43

I like it alot but the first thing that jumps to my mind is I'd have like to have seen both of the metal framed chairs just not 1.5 chairs. Other then that I really like the affect (very IR-ish) and I think I prefer the first crop over the 2nd.
